Ch. 416..420: Begging For A Reconciliation Chapter 416-420
Chapter 416 Only Half a Month Left
Heavy rain fell from the dark sky, and the city was covered in thick mist.
There was an endless stream of guests in front of the hotel, while there was a passionate atmosphere In the black, luxurious car parked on the side of the road.
The zip of Leah's wedding gown was pulled down by Han, revealing her smooth, fair skin, which looked even more attractive in the dimly lit car.
The corners of her eyes were reddish, and her face was pale, but she bit her lips, not letting herself make a sound. Even if she had prepared herself to be humiliated, she still felt utterly embarrassed for doing something like this in a car at the hotel's entrance. Moreover, guests would pass by the car sometimes, and Shawn was still upstairs in the hotel.
Leah's tears dripped from the corner of her eyes and continuously fell onto Han's chest.
Feeling her hot tears, Han's movements became even rougher, as if he wanted to devour Leah.
"Heh… Is it that uncomfortable to be touched by me? You've been under my body countless times, so why are you acting innocent?!"
After some time, the sky darkened, the rain became heavier, and the number of pedestrians outside decreased.
Once Han finished venting, he threw Leah to the road. Looking at her slumped in the puddle, he got out of the car and leaned the umbrella toward her. He sneered and said, "As you wish."
After throwing the umbrella at her, he walked in the rain and allowed the rain to drench his body. Once he returned to the car, he asked the chauffeur to drive away.
Han should feel happy after utterly humiliating Leah, but when he thought about her face of despair just now, he felt his heart ache. He hated himself for always not being able to control his emotions because of her.
Even if she had accepted Shawn's proposal today, the moment he saw her, he still thought that she might have had difficulties that caused her to do this…
However, Leah did not explain anything and only said she would take responsibility for breaking the promise. At that moment, he was immediately consumed by anger.
Thinking about what he had done to her just now, Han, who had always been merciless, started to regret it.
"Tsk." Han clicked his tongue in annoyance as his eyes were filled with uneasiness.
He looked back in Leah's direction. Leah's petite figure could be seen in the rain, and her white wedding gown was dyed with blood. She had fainted, and the blood on her wedding gown made Han's heart ache and his eyes bloodshot.
"Stop the car!" He shouted.
The sharp sound of the breaks sounded. As the tires ran over a puddle rapidly, water splashed upward.
The chauffeur drove the car back to where Leah was. Han then got out of the car and hugged her in his arms. Her cold body made his usually cold eyes fill with panic.
"Leah! Stop acting!" Han shook her body as the cold rain fell on their bodies continuously.
The chauffeur quickly got out of the car to hold an umbrella for him. "Boss, we should quickly send her to the hospital!"
…
"Mr. Howard, sorry, but we really can't figure out her illness…" After the main doctor did a checkup for Leah, he lowered his head in shame.
Han's eyes were bloodshot as he grabbed the doctor's collar and said coldly, "You useless thing, bring your most skillful doctor over!"
At this moment, Ben walked in with a heavy, sad expression.
"Boss, don't trouble the doctors anymore. They really can't figure it out because Ms. White doesn't have any illness, but… She's poisoned with the Wither Venom."
His last few words were like a heavy hammer hitting Han's heart.
He was taken aback and asked, "What?"
It was the first time Ben saw him with such an expression. He shook his head and said, "I've already found out who Owen and the others used the poison on. They used it on Ms. White during the auction that day. At that time, they hadn't imported a large amount of the Wither Venom from overseas but bought it from Donald…"
Han long had guesses about who Owen used the poison on and had been making preparations. However, when he heard that it was really used on Leah, he felt like his heart was pierced by millions of needles.
"What about that antidote with Donald?" Han asked as he let go of the doctor.
Ben shook his head. "There isn't any. It was bought together with the poison, so there isn't any left. Moreover, the antidotes overseas are also monopolized by Owen. If we want to save Ms. White, we must start with Owen."
Han had been getting close to Owen to prevent such a strong poison from circulating in the market. When he knew they had used the poison, he even approached Anna so he could get the antidote.
However, he did not expect that Leah had been poisoned so early. Moreover, Anna always said she would not give him the Wither Venom's antidote if he did not marry her.
Han punched the table violently with bloodshot eyes and a scary expression. "No matter what, we must get the antidote from Owen and Anna!"
He no longer had the patience to play games regarding love and marriage with Anna!
Ben was taken aback, but he soon understood Han's meaning. He then nodded heavily. "Yes, Boss!"
As the doctor and Ben left the room, only Leah and Han were left.
As Han's trembling hand was about to touch Leah's pale face, his arm was stopped by someone.
Shawn glared at him coldly, "Mr. Howard, from now on, Leah is my fiancee, so you better stay away from her."
He felt he had not said enough, so he continued, "Please don't show up in front of her anymore because the one she'll spend her life with is me."
Rain was pouring outside, and the bare branches swayed in the wind and rain, continuously hitting the window.
Han took two steps toward Shawn, and his killing intent could no longer be concealed. "So what about it? She is my ex-wife. We've slept together and have a child. For the child, who do you think she'll choose if I want her to come back?"
This was the pain in Shawn's heart. Carlotta was Leah and Han's child.
Shawn soon returned to his cold expression as he sneered. "You two have long become the past, and she'll have a new child with me in the future."
The words "in the future" stabbed into Han's heart. He sneered and said, "In the future? Don't you know she can only live for half a month?"
Shawn's expression quickly changed. As he was about to question Han, his assistant suddenly called
him.
"Mr. Ford, you wanted me to check Mrs. Ford's blood that day, and the results are out. She's poisoned with the Wither Poison. According to the blood test, she has been poisoned for half a month, so she only has half a month left to live…"
Chapter 417 Contradictions
The sky was dark and it was still raining outside.
Han and Shawn stopped their argument. Leah continued to stay in the hospital for her treatment.
Anna found Han in the evening with a bowl of nutritious soup in her hands. She had learned to cook it recently. “Ethan, I heard from the maid that you didn’t have your dinner. I made this soup for you, drink some.”
After Han packed the documents in the room, he left without looking at her. He did not find anything about the place where the antidote was kept.
A deafening thunder was heard and the windows vibrated with buzzing noises.
Hannah threw the bowl of soup on the floor. She stood in the dim corridor with a scary expression.
“Crash!” The air was filled with the aroma of the soup.
Anna chased Han and grabbed his arms, “Ethan, you said you wanted to marry me. Why are you ignoring me now?”
It was clear that Shawn’s plan to get that woman to marry him was successful. Why he couldn’t look at me for once?
Anna was not willing to accept the fact that Han’s attitude towards her remained the same after Leah left him.
Han shook her hands off, looked at her superiorly, and asked, “Where’s the antidote for Wither Venom?”
He wanted to hold back Oven and find the antidote slowly. However, Hannah was poisoned now. He did not have the patience anymore.
Anna was stunned and bit her lips, “What do you want this for?”
Did he get close to me from the beginning just for the antidote to save that woman?
She was furious with the thought of it.
I will only be at peace when this Leah b*tch is dead!
“It’s none of your business. Just give me the antidote.” Han regained his usual composure as he didn’t want to act with her anymore.
The distance and coldness in his attitude made Anna panic. She shed her pride and looked at the handsome man. “Marry me and I can get you whatever you want…”
She couldn’t lose him. She had never liked someone like this before. She knew she would regret for life if she can’t be with him.
“I want the antidote first,” Han said. He felt that she will not give him the antidote even if he married her.
His attitude made her can’t think straight anymore. She yelled, “Why do you care so much about her? You care so much about her that you would go out of your way to make me an enemy?”
“What exactly did I lack compare to her that you have to trample my dignity again and again?”
Anna asked the questions that had been in her heart for a long time.
Han was not interested in her nonsense and he left.
The lights in the corridor went off. Anna was shrouded in the darkness and her intent to kill got stronger. “Since you love that woman so much, I’m going to make her disappear from this world!”
…
It was still raining late at night.
Han returned to the villa and coaxed Carlotta to sleep. After that, he called Ben.
“How’s the investigation?”
“Boss, the situation is not good. Not long ago, someone reported Anna threw away a huge box of things.” Ben said solemnly. “They were being thrown in the river…”
“Go fish them out!” Han ordered and hung up.
His intuition told him the things thrown were not simple. After all, Anna had damaged her reputation with the previous conversation.
Half an hour later, Han came to the river bank.
The waters were ice cold as it was still drizzling in the middle of the night.
“Boss, let them do the work.” Ben grabbed Han anxiously who wanted to go into the river himself.
“The things she had thrown away might not be the antidote. Don’t risk your life!” he added.
The other men wearing professional equipment also persuaded Han, “That’s right, boss. Just let us do the work. Wait for the good news on the bank.”
Han pursed his lips. Leah was still in the hospital. Her life was declining little by little. He couldn’t wait like that without doing anything.
The feeling of the unknown is too terrifying.
In the end, Han did not listen to his men and dived into the river after wearing a pair of goggles. He felt that he could lessen his guilt with his actions even if the antidote couldn’t be found. He brought her to the auction. He didn’t want Leah to leave his side like this even though he had thought of getting back at her. He must find the antidote and save her.
Han and his men searched for two days and finally found a box roughly one mile away downstream. In the box, there’s a small glass bottle. A label written “Antidote for Wither Venom” is on the bottom of it.
“We had found it finally. You haven’t rested for two days, boss. Go and take a nap. I will bring the antidote to Ms. White.” Ben reached out to take the bottle.
Han avoided him and held the bottle tightly. “I’ll go there myself.”
Since the antidote has been found, he is not short of this little rest.
He rushed to the hospital. From the moment Han knew Leah had been poisoned, he had been always frowning. Ben couldn’t bear to look at Han’s skin which turn white from soaking in the river for the past two days.
Boss rarely showed his feelings, but his cold demeanor hid a strong love for Ms. White. He had done a lot for her like protecting her from hostile forces. Although he always said he wanted to get back at her when he met her, he does things contrary to what he said.
Han reached Leah’s ward and fed her the antidote.
“Leah, don’t you just die like that!”
The antidote was in liquid form, it flowed out of the corner of her mouth as soon as he poured it in. Han did not hesitate to pour the medicine into his mouth and fed it to her mouth-to-mouth.
After taking the antidote for half an hour, her suffering seemed to be lessened.
The doctor in charge did a checkup on Leah with some advanced machinery and they were relieved.
“Mr. Howard, Ms. White’s condition is stable now. If she remains stable, she will wake up tomorrow!”
Han ordered Ben to salvage the remaining antidote.
When everyone left, a figure quietly walked into the ward…
Chapter 418 It’s Time for Some Action
The sky turned clear after raining for a few days.
The moonlight shone brightly into Leah’s ward and onto her sleeping figure. She looked like the sleeping beauty in fairy tales.
Anna was staring at her with a sinister gaze and raised the knife in her hands slowly.
“I never thought that he would go to such an extent for you. You deserve to die!”
If she knew the outcome would be like this, she would pour all of the antidotes. She thought that Leah would die eventually but she helped her instead. She hated Leah very much. Leah didn’t need to do anything and Ethan will love her to death.
Anna raised her hand and was ready to plunge the knife into Leah’s heart, a hand stopped her.
“Anna, don’t do anything extra. We are working together to get what we need. Now that it’s successful and you want to kill Sarah?”
It was not known when Shawn came into the room.
He shook Anna’s hand and the knife fell onto the floor.
Anna’s plan was ruined again and she was so angry that her eyes turned red. She fiercely glared at Shawn. “Your plan is successful! What about mine? He still doesn’t want to marry me. I’m not satisfied if I don’t kill this bitch!”
She was no longer graceful and elegant.
“It’s your stupidity that you have been unable to charm Han. Did you want to blame Sarah for this? I think you don’t want to live anymore!” Shawn kicked her and she fell to the floor.
Just when she was about to get angrier, she met a murderous gaze when she looked up. She shivered and her anger was wiped out.
“If you let her appear in front of Han once more, I will let her die a horrible death!”
Anna left after saying that. Shawn stared in the direction she left for a moment before looking at Leah again.
He reached out and gently stroked her face. “Sarah, I still love you. What should I do with him?”
“Should I kill him after my plan succeeds?”
“If I don’t do that, you will be unhappy. Why don’t we just let them see how happy we will be? We will have our child. Of course, I will treat Carlotta like my own daughter…”
Shawn sat alone and talked about his fantasies.
Morning arrives.
Shawn’s assistant made a phone call to him, “Mr. Ford, please come to the company. The Kendrick Group stole another big project from us. The old men on the board of directors are making trouble now.”
“Damn it!” Shawn took his jacket and hurriedly. Before he left, he ordered the bodyguards to forbid anyone to enter Leah’s floor.
After his footsteps were far away, Leah who was in a deep sleep, slowly opened her eyes.
She got to the window with her limited strength to breathe in some fresh air. She felt complicated. About an hour ago, she had woken up. She heard Shawn talk about their future. However, she didn’t know how to react to him, that's why she continued to pretend to sleep.
“Ms. White, why are you out of bed? Be careful of getting a cold!” A nurse came in and realized that Leah was awake. She quickly led her to the bed and covered her with blankets.
The nurse did a simple check-up on her, “Ms. White… Sorry, it should be Mrs. Ford. The poison in your body is being drained out slowly. You can be discharged soon.”
Leah was confused, “Poison? What happened to me?”
That day, after she bid goodbye to Han, she coughed up a lot of blood and fainted in the rain. She had not been awake until now.
She felt a pain in her chest when she recalled how Han left her after insulting her. He didn’t care about
her at all. The moments that they shared in the past were fake, it was just for his revenge.
The nurse told Leah, “You had been poisoned severely. You only had half a month to live. Fortunately, Mr. Ford saved you. He was here last night too.”
The nurse looked at her with bright eyes. It seemed like she was envious of their relationship.
“Well, when can I be discharged?” Leah asked.
She had not expected Shawn would save her in such a severe condition.
“You can leave anytime you want. The poison in your body had been drained. You will be in safe hands with Mr. Ford’s family doctor.”
In the evening, there was a crimson glow in the sky.
Shawn picked up Leah and they went back to the Ford mansion. Her pale face reflected the crimson glow, it made her complexion better.
Shawn carried her to the bed and covered her with a blanket. He smiled slightly, “Sarah, rest well. Call me if you need anything,”
“I’ll bring you on a honeymoon trip once you get well.”
He left shortly.
His smile faded instantly as he told his assistant by his side, “Even if you sacrifice three more
companies, the laboratory must not be known by Han!”
“Yes!” The assistant nodded.
“Bring the old men who were not obedient to the lab as experiment specimens…”
Both of their voices were getting far away. Leah, who was standing behind the door, went back to bed looking gloomy.
She needs to gain Shawn’s trust fast. She needs to know where the laboratory is located!
She had to draw a clear line with Han for this.
Nightfall.
When he had finally finished his tasks, Han rushed to the hospital only to be told that Leah had been picked up by Shawn.
He looked up to the sky when he got out of the building. Leah, don’t tell me that you’re really in love with Shawn…
Leah was well taken care of at the Ford Mansion. There were all sorts of expensive medications and nutritious diets for her.
Ten days later, she had recovered. She didn’t pant anymore when she walked.
This morning, Leah looked at herself in the mirror. Her cheeks were rosy and her eyes were bright.
It’s time for some action!
>Chapter 419 Hypocrite
Leah came to the Ford Group to look for Shawn, but she was stopped by a new girl in the reception.
“Stop right there. Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re pretty! You think anyone can meet Mr. Ford so easily?”
A person beside her reminded her, “Julie, this is Mrs. Ford. What are you doing? Quickly apologize…”
Julie Jenkins scoffed, “They are not married yet. What makes her claim the title of Mrs. Ford? I had known Shawn for years but I didn’t flaunt our relationship. How dare she flaunt it before me?”
Looking at Leah’s face, Julie’s hatred increased. So many things had changed while she was studying abroad for the past ten years. She had not expected the changes.
Shawn, who promised to marry her, had another woman by his side.
She had a hard time getting her family to agree for her to work at Ford Group, she couldn’t let Leah ruin it!
Leah sat by the side and made a phone call to Shawn’s assistant. However, her phone was snatched by Julie once she took it out.
Julie looked at Leah in disbelief, “You are using Shawn’s phone? You are a seductive vixen. No wonder your family is broken!”
The last sentence she said made Leah furious. Her family and the White Group were the pain of the
lifetime.
Leah got up and snatched back her phone. She also slapped Julie. “Your parents didn’t teach you about manners? As a receptionist, you didn’t do your job well but you’re here insulting others instead?”
Julie was stunned by the slap. When she came back to her senses, she screamed and lunged at Leah, “B*tch! I will not let you go today!”
No one had ever hit her including her parents! After all, she also came from a wealthy family. She felt not reconciled as she was slapped by a b*tch in the public.
Before Julie got near to Leah, she was slapped hard again. She fell to the floor.
She held her face and glared at Leah. “I’m the eldest daughter of the Jenkins family. How dare you hit me? My dad and Shawn will not let you go!”
“There’s no need to talk so much. Ask your family to take action now. Furthermore, I had never heard that Shawn had a playmate like you.”
Shawn and his assistant arrived at the lobby and they heard her words. Shawn was relieved that she was not being bullied.
Shawn moved to her side and put an arm around her waist. “Sarah, why are you here? Why didn’t you call me to pick you up?”
Leah felt disgusted by his touch and acted like she was annoyed to break away from him. “I came over to have a look. I did not expect to meet your ‘little sister’.”
Shawn coaxed Leah while holding her hands when he saw that she was jealous, “I don’t know her at all. Sarah, if you don’t like her, I’ll make her leave immediately.”
He turned around and told his assistant, “Fire this stupid woman and blacklist her. She is not allowed to work in companies that are affiliated with Ford Group in the future.”
“Yes,” the assistant answered. He brought a few security guards to escort Julie out of the company.
Julie kept crying, “Shawn, it’s me. I’m Julie. Can’t you recognize me?”
What she got in reply was the intimate silhouette of Shawn leaving the place with his arms around Leah’s waist.
Julie felt hopeless. She couldn’t believe it. Shawn couldn’t recognize her after ten years. Moreover, he caused her to make a fool out of herself for another woman.
Julie was furious, she glared in the direction they left and she swears. One day, I’ll get Shawn back.
Shawn brought Leah back to his office and let her sit on his chair. He poured a glass of milk for her and touched her lips. “Are you jealous just now?” he asked.
“No, I’m not.” Leah avoided his touch by lowering her head to drink the milk.
Shawn knew she was shy and did not insist on the matter. He smiled gently, “Didn’t you sat you’re here
to have a look? I’ll tour you around after you finish your milk.”
He had fantasized about an ordinary life like this with Leah countless times. It finally came true. Maybe she had liked him from the beginning but there’s Han in between, she did not dare to admit her true feelings because of him.
Leah shook her head, “Do your work. I’ll walk around alone. I’m just too bored at home.”
A simple “home” word knocked down Shawn’s defenses. “If you’re bored at home, let’s go to a banquet with me tomorrow.”
“A banquet?” Leah was stunned. Will Han attend?
When she was just about to reject, Shawn said, “Hm. It is a birthday banquet for an heir of a top foreign consortium. People from well-known families and the business elite are invited. As my wife in the future, you will need to accompany me to all sorts of banquets, why not get used to it earlier?”
Leah agreed, “Okay.”
She did not want to meet Han, but fate had its plans.
Leah and Shawn took a plane to Qustraebar the next night.
Victory Hotel.
“Today is the birthday of our heir from the Fox family. I would like to thank all of…”
The host gave an enthusiastic speech about the Fox family.
Shawn led Leah to the resting area as he noticed she was sleepy. The noble ladies got up and greeted them as they saw them.
“Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Ford. You all look as loving as what was reported in the news.”
“Mrs. Ford looks much better than on TV!”
They didn’t even look at Leah’s face and they gave compliments to please her.
Leah felt extremely uncomfortable about this, but she had to wear a polite smile on her face, “Thank you for the compliment, good evening everyone."
The noble ladies wanted to have a toast with Leah, she could only pick up a glass of champagne.
When she was about to drink it, Shawn took it away, “You had just recovered. I’ll drink it for you.”
He drank the champagne no matter whether Leah was willing or not. His actions gained more praise and blessings.
In the crowd, Shawn had arranged for a person to record all of this. When the video was on the Internet after some simple editing, their love story will be marketed once more.
“Crash”
There was a sound of glass hitting the floor.
With the sound of the glass breaking, the air was filled with a strong wine fragrance.
Leah looked toward the direction of the sound.
Han!
Chapter 420 Mind Your Own Business
The lighting in the hotel was focused on Han, making him look as noble as ever.
“That’s Mr. Howard, right? Oh my god, I finally got to see him. He is more handsome than imagined.”
“He is not just Mr. Howard, he’s Ethan. The 100-billion-dollar investment magnate. He’s also the son-in- law of Fetriybia.”
“Didn’t the news report a while ago that he broke off his engagement with Princess Anna?”
“What do you know? It's normal for couples to have small fights.”
The voices made Leah withdraw her gaze and forced a smile toward Shawn, “I’m going to the washroom for a moment.”
Han’s presence was so strong that it affected her.
Shawn glanced at Han and held Leah’s hand, gently leading her to the washroom, “I’ll go with you.”
When the both of them left the crowd, there was another wave of envy with praises.
“Mr. Ford still loves Ms. White so much. I heard that there will be good news soon. They will be together finally.”
Han’s fist tightened. His piercing gaze followed Leah’s figure far away.
Leah walked step by step firmly with Shawn beside her. She could feel Han’s gaze, but she didn’t look back.
Her eyes showed determination. The most important task for now, is to win Shawn’s trust. For this reason, she must not show any emotions for Han in front of Shawn.
Shawn waited for her and he was not surprised when saw Han approach him.
“Mr. Howard, do you care that much about my fiancée? I can’t believe you came to the washroom for her.” Shawn smiled provocatively at Han.
He felt so content. Finally, he got to avenge himself.
In the past, he had only been able to watch Leah get closer to Han. However, the situation is reversed now. He couldn’t wait to hurt Han.
“You seem to be quite satisfied with something that I’ve used before?” Han smirked.
“You’re just someone who took over my position. Do you think a woman like her will really love someone?”
Leah heard the harsh words through the door. She was stunned when she was about to open the door and go out.
“Hah…” She lowered her head and scoffed. In his eyes, I’m always this type of person.
Shawn didn’t care about Han’s words at all. He thought of it as slandering because he couldn’t be together with Leah. Shawn chuckled, “Too many things happened in the two years you were away. I’m confident that Leah will spend the rest of her life with me.”
Han’s heart sank, “Is that so?”
Leah came out of the washroom without any expression, “Let’s go,” she said while ignoring Han.
Han grabbed her wrist and said, “You better know what you are doing now.”
Leah felt Shawn’s gaze on her and she quickly shook off Han’s hand, “Does what I do matter to you? We got divorced a few years back, didn’t we?”
“Mr. Howard, please mind your own business.”
What Leah said made Han furious, “What did you say?”
With the protection of Shawn, she was brave enough to challenge him now.
Leah smiled and repeated, “I said what I do is none of your business. Please don’t pester me anymore, Mr. Howard.”
“Or you’re still missing your ex-wife?”
The mocking smile made Han’s facial expression turn sullen, “You’re such a cheap woman trampling on yourself.”
The simple sentence instantly made Leah feel an ache in her heart. She knew that she was despicable for using other people's feelings, but she did not regret it.
“I don’t know since when choosing a person I truly want to be together with is trampling on myself,” Leah said with a smile. “Mr. Howard, you really need to mind your own business.”
“Did you think that you have the power and authority and all the women must submit to you?”
Leah’s voice was soft but it was harsh. Her mocking gaze made his heart ache too.
Han kept silent and stared at her for a moment before turning away.
Shawn witnessed the whole situation with happiness that can’t be hidden.
He laughed out loud and put his arms around Leah’s shoulders. “Leah, you made him speechless. Aren’t you afraid of him seeking revenge on you?”
Bringing Leah to this banquet was the right decision. He thought that she still loved Han and only be together with him because she was forced. Now it seemed that it was not the case.
Leah held back the disgusting feeling when Shawn put his arms around her waist and said, “I have you to protect me now.”
Shawn couldn’t hide his happiness and kissed her forehead. “You’re right. I’ll protect you. As long as my plan succeeds, no one can stop me anymore…”
Watching the two figures walk far away, Han retracted his gaze.
Leah seemed to have suddenly distanced herself overnight, but he could not find the reason.
What happened after she was kidnapped by Shawn that day?
The banquet was over.
Leah and Shawn returned to the Ford mansion. Two rows of maids greeted them.
“Mr. Ford, do you need us to prepare a late-night snack for you and Mrs. Ford?
Shawn looked at Leah who hadn’t eaten anything at the banquet and nodded, “Something light would be good.”
The maids left to do their chores.
Lucy came forward and told Leah respectfully, “Ms. White, Ms. Coleman came over this evening. She is resting in the guest room now. She wants you to meet her when you come back.”
Leah was stunned and looked at Shawn, seemingly asking for his opinion.
Her obedient manner made Shawn’s mood better, “Go ahead, you haven't seen each other for a long time,” he said.
Leah went to the guest room and woke up Serena who was dozing away on the sofa.
Serena woke up and asked seriously, “Sarah, are you planning to marry him?”
